LensCoat lens protection for Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5 - 7.1 L IS USM black

Custom-made for your Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5, 7.1 L IS USM

This LensCoat lens cover is truly custom-made: it fits the Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5, 7.1 L IS USM (2020) exactly and sits so neatly on the barrel that you almost forget it after a few minutes. Each section is cut to follow the shape of the telezoom, without slipping or creasing. This keeps handling pleasantly direct, even when you’re out for longer periods, in the forest, on the sidelines, or anywhere in between.

Important to know: this lens cover does not fit any other lens models. No “it’ll probably work somehow”, but deliberately designed only for this one RF telezoom. This ensures a secure fit, clean coverage of the relevant areas, and a look that doesn’t resemble an improvised DIY solution.

Premium protection for your lens in everyday use and tough conditions

The LensCoat lens cover offers premium protection for your lens that quickly becomes second nature in daily use. The material absorbs impacts, cushions small bumps against railings, hide poles, or car doors, and significantly reduces the risk of visible signs of wear. Especially with a high-quality RF telezoom, this is not just a nice bonus, but almost a must.

At the same time, the matte, non-reflective surface is pleasantly unobtrusive. The contours of the lens are visually broken up a bit, which helps in wildlife photography to attract less attention from skittish subjects. Animals see better than we do, but a less shiny, “broken” profile often irritates them less than a bare, brightly reflecting lens body.

Protects against impacts and scratches, outdoors and indoors

The telephoto lens cover made of neoprene reliably protects your valuable Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5, 7.1 L IS USM from impacts and scratches. Small knocks when packing and unpacking from a backpack, contact with rock, branches, or the railing in the stands are noticeably cushioned. The lens body underneath remains largely unscathed, even when things get a bit hectic.

Especially on longer tours or trips, when the lens is constantly moving between tripod, shoulder strap, and backpack, this protection pays off. You can handle, set down, and transport the telezoom more relaxedly without nervously worrying about every little touch. It takes away some of that “just don’t bump anything” tension.

Padded neoprene elements for pleasant cushioning

All main segments of the LensCoat consist of padded neoprene elements that provide noticeable cushioning without feeling bulky. This material has been proven in the outdoor sector for years: lightweight, flexible, and at the same time robust enough to withstand daily use.

The neoprene hugs the lens barrel and provides a slightly softer feel. Especially on cold days, the telezoom feels less metallic and cold and sits more comfortably in the hand. The surface is chosen so that it is not overly slippery, but also doesn’t “stick” to the camera bag – a good compromise between grip and glide.

All controls remain accessible and easy to use

Despite the full covering, all important switches and controls remain easily accessible. The controls stay reachable so you can operate focus mode, image stabilizer, or focus range as usual without having to remove the cover.

The cutouts are positioned so that you don’t have to fumble to reach the switches. Zooming, focusing, switching – everything works as usual. The cover is deliberately designed to support the lens’s functionality, not hinder it. You don’t have to choose between protection and operating comfort; you get both in one.

Practical bellows-style fabric cover for the zoom travel

Included is a practical bellows-style cover made of thin fabric for the zoom, which additionally covers the barrel at full extension. This flexible segment closes the gap that appears when the lens extends and ensures that the extended section remains protected as well.

This keeps the appearance of the lens consistent and evenly covered even at 500 mm. At the same time, the zoom ring remains fully operable. The thin fabric element folds neatly together when the barrel retracts and stretches out again when extended, without annoying folds or blockages.

Helps against weather, dirt, dust & moisture in tough use

The lens cover helps against weather, dirt, dust & moisture by largely shielding the sensitive surface of your RF telezoom. Of course, it does not replace a full camera rain cover, but it significantly reduces direct exposure to splashes, dust, and fine particles.

Especially on dusty trails, on the coast with moist salty air, or in light drizzle, the cover is a useful additional barrier. Dirt tends to accumulate on the neoprene rather than directly on the lens barrel. It can be cleaned more easily later or, if necessary, even replaced, rather than having to accept scratches or dull spots on the original finish.

Insulating function for more comfort in cold and heat

In addition to mechanical protection, the neoprene has an insulating function. This means your lens feels less icy at low temperatures and doesn’t become uncomfortably hot as quickly in strong sunlight. This makes a noticeable difference, especially during longer sessions in winter or in blazing sun.

If you often work with gloves or frequently carry the lens directly by the barrel, you’ll quickly come to appreciate this effect. The insulation works subtly, without noticeably changing the lens’s balance. Handling remains familiar, just more comfortable.

Good for resale value and long-term value retention

Another point that is often underestimated: such a lens cover is good for resale. The fewer visible signs of wear your Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5, 7.1 L IS USM accumulates over the years, the more attractive it remains for potential buyers.

Fine scratches, paint wear, or small dings appear faster than you might think, especially with frequent outdoor use. With the LensCoat cover, you absorb most of this everyday wear and tear. This pays off when you eventually want to upgrade the lens or restructure your gear. And until then, you simply enjoy a well-kept telezoom that still looks good even after many trips.

Only for this RF telezoom: does not fit other lens models

The lens cover is designed so that it really only fits this one Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5, 7.1 L IS USM and no other lens models. This is intentional in order to achieve exact coverage of all relevant areas without compromising on fit or gaps.

As a result, you benefit from a very clean fit: no protruding edges, no odd gaps, no improvised cutouts. So if you use precisely this RF telezoom and want to protect it in everyday use, on trips, or in professional work, this LensCoat cover is a very specific but also very fitting solution.
